I am proud to be a member of the 鈥淐lass of 2020鈥�, having retired from 海角社区 after 44 years as a social work educator, and 鈥済raduating鈥� 50 years after my original graduation as an undergraduate from the University of Rhode Island in 1970, majoring in English with a minor in Sociology. Beginning my career in public welfare working with poor children and their families, I quickly realized that I was ill equipped to provide social work services competently. I soon returned to graduate school at the National Catholic School of Social Service to pursue the MSW degree, which is the one of the best decisions I ever made (next to marrying my husband!). However, the BSW degree is also a very useful one and many of our graduates have pursued an entire career as a BSW social worker. Multiple avenues are open for becoming an agent of change, in order to promote social justice and equality. In the tumultuous times of our collective lives, which each generation must confront in a new way, we are called as a profession to an ongoing and unwavering commitment to continue the fight against structural oppression and for the rights of the most vulnerable populations.

Jennifer Soule, Ph.D.
Professor Emerita Social Work
My years at 海角社区 are the heart of my professional life. I greatly enjoyed my time as a social work professor and department chair/program director. I relished teaching and being an active member in academic and social work communities. After retirement, I turned to poetry and earned a Master in Fine Arts in Writing with an emphasis on poetry. My undergraduate degree with a double major in English and Sociology was an early focus on my twin passions—literature and social change in the larger world. I grew up in South Dakota with the privilege of a big sky/land canvas that allowed me to believe anything is possible anywhere. A career in social work was the perfect choice for me. I believe and hope that social work students and graduates today would enjoy the same fulfillment in their professional lives. With a strong foundation in the humanities and the depth and breadth of the biopsychosocial underpinnings social work is a multifaceted career. It allows flexibility and options across the lifespan of both workers and clients. Social work is a vibrant field with many opportunities for growth and little room for boredom. It is my life鈥檚 work and I highly recommend it!
